Veteran politician, Mumtaz Ali Bhutto, who is spearheading PML-N in Sindh, is likely to join Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) anytime soon. According to sources, Mumtaz Bhutto is quite unhappy with the PML-N leadership as the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who is also the party chief, has reportedly ignored him while taking major decisions concerning the party affairs.
Sources claimed that the PTI has offered him a key post in the party's Sindh chaprter, which made him think quitting PML-N to resurrect his career from a long political slumber. Sources close to Mumtaz Bhutto's claimed that PTI Chairman, Imran Khan, has already approached him (Bhutto) in this regard. "Imran Khan has set up a team under the chairman of PTI's senior leader, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, to have a meeting with Bhutto by the weakened", they added.
Meanwhile, sources said that a PTI delegation which is scheduled to meet Mumtaz Bhutto on September 13 in his village - Mirpur Bhutto - to discuss the country's current political situation might informally invite him to join the party. Mumtaz Bhutto had dissolved his party - Sindh National Front - to join PML-N before the last general elections in the country. He was given a senior party post in the PML-N, Sindh and later his son, Amir Bux Bhutto, was appointed as adviser to the prime minister.
